Students Lead Outdoor Hang Out Space

SMITHFIELD, RHODE ISLAND

Overview

Bryant University's Student Leadership Committee led a summer construction project to expand and improve outdoor space for study, dining and socializing. The goal was to create a safe, versatile and engaging outdoor space for maximized student use.

The new and improved Fisher Student Union patio space is now complete with new paving, branding, lighting, space for food trucks and movie nights. During the shoulder season as the weather cools, students can now warm up with a new outdoor fire pit and seating. A separate more casual space leading from student housing provides access to grills and picnic tables and an all night walk-up cafe window.
